Report: Scaife signs tender with Titans

Restricted free agent tight end Bo Scaife has signed his tender offer from the Titans, according to ESPN. The one-year deal is worth $4.9 million.

Scaife was the Titans’ franchise player in 2009 and earned $4.46 million. He was the team’s third-leading receiver with 45 catches.

For now the signing adds some stability at tight end for the Titans, who could also work toward a long-term contract extension with Scaife or possibly explore trading him.

Jared Cook is coming off a lackluster rookie season (15 games, 9 catches, 74 yards) and veteran Alge Crumpler, a valuable blocker, is an unrestricted free agent who has visited the Patriots but also remains on the Titans’ radar.

Scaife, a sixth-round pick by the Titans in 2005, has 215 catches for 2,065 yards and nine touchdowns in five seasons.
